Noteworthy events
Judge Miller censured for judicial misconduct (2002)
On December 30, 2002, the New York Commission on Judicial Conduct issued a determination after a hearing on formal charges for judicial misconduct. The formal complaint stated four charges. These included: presiding over the case of a family member related to one of his clients, acting as an attorney while also acting as the judge in a legal proceeding, and for various errors made by his court clerk on multiple court documents which were sent out with Miller's approval.[3]
After multiple days of hearings on the matter, the committee ultimately determined Judge Miller
| “ | . . .showed insensitivity and inattention to his ethical responsibilities and, in particular, to the special ethical obligations of judges who are permitted to practice law. In mitigation, we note that [Judge Miller] was candid, cooperative and contrite at the hearing and that he has acknowledged his misconduct.[3][7] | ” |
The committee determined Miller should be censured for his misconduct.[3]
